Southern SD expecting snow

December 07, 2009

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A National Weather Service meteorologist in Sioux Falls says southern parts of South Dakota could get up to five inches of snow. Meteorologist Todd Heitkamp says the storm expected in the Plains on Tuesday should hit Nebraska and Iowa hardest, but that South Dakota will not be spared. He says high wind will be an issue for the entire state. Heitkamp says the combination of snow and wind in some areas will make traveling difficult. The storm also is expected to bring cold weather, with overnight lows below zero and wind chills as cold as 25 degrees below Fahrenheit. ___ Information from: KUSD-FM, http://www.sdpb.org Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
